If the Heat loses three and somebody wins three, they're right in second. But for right now (Detroit and Miami are) 1-2 and everybody is just chasing.
success
I didn't have any idea (the success would happen),
knows last matter pulled seven together trying worried year
Four, five, six, seven seed, who knows who's going to play each other? It doesn't matter who we play, we're not worried about that right now. We're just trying to come together as a group. Last year we didn't have home-court advantage, and we pulled out a win.
setting team win
I'd been setting up my team all night, ... I'm going to win the game. That's what I do. . . . They didn't say it was going to be easy.
basketball energy floor good looking toward
Those players, they have a different way of playing. If they're looking at you and you're not with them, they think you're a failure. So I told Kwame he has to go in and use that energy toward the basketball floor to get in good with those guys.

We turned it on at the right time. We played solid defense all the way through, and in the fourth quarter we gave that extra effort and got the win.

We're going to beat them once. That's all it takes - is one time. We're just going to keep fighting and fighting and fighting until we get 'em. That's all we can do.

We're going into the playoffs with an edge because we really had to be sharp the last 10 games. It's a whole new season, but hopefully that'll help us.
hard home kicked rhythm second
We've been on the road, so when you come back it's hard to get that home rhythm that you are used to. It kicked in during the second half.
everybody glad hurts kindness missing sweet tough toughness
We've been missing that kind of toughness from our lineup. When you are missing one of your enforcers, his sweet jumper and his tough defense, it hurts us. Everybody is glad to have him back.
fourth half losing patch quarter second
We've been losing it in the second half and the fourth quarter lately. We just need to find a way to patch things up.
felt stopped
you can't be stopped and you don't think you can be stopped. That's how I felt tonight.

We did a great job tonight. It was a great team effort. We have been improving defensively, and it's been showing.
blocking coming fighting fights-and-fighting playing
Brendan is coming out and playing hard, blocking shots, getting rebounds. He's actually fighting in there.
